Thomas
Thomas is a probably teen boy who finds himself stuck in yet another trial. After escaping the Maze and the Glade, Thomas and his fellow gladers are thrown into a second trial, the Scorch. Thomas finds and looses friends, but in the end, sticking together to survive, even escaping your friend, is what it takes to end the Scorch Trials and the Flare.
Confused
Thomas is confused about what is happening with his friends and himself after the maze.
Scared
Thomas is scared when he hears that they all have to go through another trial like the maze and the glade, but it's worse.
Angry
Thomas is angry at WICKED for killing his friends and throwing who's left into the Scorch.
The Scorch
This is where everything happens in the book. It's more menacing than it looks.
Fire
When they reach the Scorch, there is destruction everywhere. Fire is burning things up along with sand and ash mixed together for the ground.
Scorch Storms
While in the Scorch, there are surprisingly large and fearsome storms. The lightning can fry a person to ash, or set them in a painful fire.
Resiliency
Thomas shows resiliency by helping and directing his fellow gladers through the treacherous Scorch Trials, even though he went through extreme events that would have caused anyone to have huge tramas.
Quote
"Your not her!" Thomas said, "You could never be her!"
This quote is significant because it shows how the stress of losing Teresa is getting to him, especially when he meets Brenda because she reminds him if her.
